Just okay, a bit uncomfortable, subpar app
on April 23, 2024
Posted by: pinkoos
I'm not a big fan of these headphones. I've owned other higher end (meaning more expensive) Sony noise cancelling headphones and these just can't compare to those, even taking into account the lower price point. First, somehow these feel uncomfortable to wear for an extended period of time. I'm not sure why, but I definitely start suffering from ear fatigue much sooner than I have with other headphones. Next, the sound. The selling point for these is the extra bass you can apply, either through the equalizer within the app and / or via a dedicated 'ULT' button on the left side. Problem is that my ears couldn't tell much difference when toggling the ULT button on and off repeatedly. Maybe I'm just not as in tune to lower frequencies, I'm not sure. But, I thought the bass would be much more prominent. Lastly, the app. So I know that the app is not necessary to use the headphones - you just pair them with your device and get listening. But, Sony touts the app as unlocking so many great features that you are almost forced to use it, at least once. Unfortunately, the app is a hot mess - the GUI is pretty ugly, the navigation is slow and generally confusing. Considering Sony has been using an app for many years to truly achieve the potential of whatever headphones you have, you would think they would have put much more effort into it to make it beautiful, user friendly and truly functional. Regardless, there are reasons other than the app that I outlined above that should give you pause about buying these. Last but not least, the headphones came with a code to use on Amazon Music Unlimited to get 4 free months of the paid streaming service. Unfortunately, the code didn't work.

Great manscaping / ladyscaping product
on April 22, 2024
Posted by: pinkoos
I was a bit skeptical when I first saw this, wondering if it truly works and, if so, if it does so without leaving things like razor burn that regular shaving can cause. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it does in fact work, and work very well at that. The product comes with everything you need which is to say you actually don't need much - charger cable, protective cover and some kind of comb attachment that I don't really have a need for. The flimsy paper instructions are typical for this type of electronic product, explaining by pictures and text exactly what you need to do to get started. The shaver makes a bit of noise when operating but it's not overly loud. As for the shave it provides, it does it so fast and easily that you actually need to stay aware as to what you're doing if you don't want to shave everything off. If you want to leave some behind, you need to pay close attention and groom / style accordingly. Clean-up is just as easy as using it is - just run it under the faucet and the hair washes away from this 100% water proof product.

Game changer for non-beginner level golfers
on April 21, 2024
Posted by: pinkoos
I play golf a lot, therefore I've always looked for ways to get better while being able to track my progress. The Voice Caddie T9 Golf GPS Watch is a product that is transforming the golf world. Rather than a normal range finder, this watch gives distances while also being able to track your shots every round. This GPA watch performs well on the course and has a bunch of different features that can help golfers practice. First, one of the most outstanding features: the Tempo Mode. Although I am not good enough to really care about my tempo, the tempo mode has been cool to play around with. The tempo mode tells you your speed for your backswing and downswing and it differentiates between your driver tempo and approach shot tempo. It gives you an average tempo for all your swings in a round. The tempo mode is good to use on the driving range when you are practicing a new swing or just trying to get a better tempo. However, the Voice Caddie T9 offers more past the tempo mode. Its leading GPS technology, along with Green Undulation, elevates course management to a whole new level. Each hole is mapped out by the GPS, which also provides yardages to bunkers, hazards, and to the pin. I've found that this accuracy has been really helpful in hitting my shots and preventing yardage errors. You are also able to customize the pin location if needed. This can be helpful if greens are moved because of construction or renovations on a golf course. The GPS is able to identify what course you are playing as soon as you step onto the tee box, and automatically downloads the hole visuals and shows it on the watchface. Providing green undulation data is one of this watch's best features. Understanding the green's characteristics lets me hit my shots with assurance, making sure my ball lands in the best possible spot for a putt. My putting has greatly improved as a result of the green undulation feature. I can now read the greens much better and hit my shots accordingly. The green undulation is shown with a heat map. It tells you where the slopes are in the green and helps you determine where you want your ball to land and roll out. In addition to its performance on the course, the Voice Caddie T9 is also very easy to use. I can easily access all the key features thanks to the user-friendly layout. It is very easy to see the layout of each hole because of the big screen. The big screen is nice because it is easy to see but not too bulky. You are able to control almost everything from the watch alone and don’t really need your phone. An additional factor that this GPS watch has is its extended battery life. With this extremely long battery life, I don’t have to worry about the watch dying in the middle of a round and losing all my data. I can play a full eighteen holes or nine, and the Voice Caddie T9 stays alive the entire time. However, its performance on the course is definitely the defining indicator of its excellence. Having precise yardages and green data has given me a lot of confidence and I am able to hit my shot knowing I have the right club for the distance. I am constantly hitting more greens in regulation with this watch on and not missing short like I used to. For golfers of all skill levels, the Voice Caddie T9 Golf GPS Watch is a game-changer. If you are a rather good golfer and you play tournaments, you are able to disable the slope and GPS to make it eligible for tournaments. Its advanced features, such as green undulation data and Tempo Mode, offer course assistance and analysis. This GPS watch is a necessary tool for any golfer because of its clear interface, extended battery life, and outstanding performance. This watch can help anyone take their game to the next level and help lower all handicaps. It helps you navigate the course with precision and confidence. Additionally, the durability and reliability of the Voice Caddie T9 should be applauded. Its construction helps ensure that it can go through a round of golf without being harmed or damaged. The connectivity features of the Voice Caddie T9 enhance the overall golfing experience. With the ability to sync data to my smartphone, I can easily track my progress over time and identify areas for improvement. When connected to your phone, the watch also gives you text notifications. You are able to track all your scorecards from all your rounds on the app. Also, the watch lets you change the interface and it can act as a real watch with time. You can also change the home interface from your phone. The app also lets you track your average driver distance and your max driver distance. The app that goes along with the watch is very user-friendly, and shows your shot by shot on every hole. The watch easily integrates with the Voice Caddie app, allowing me to analyze my rounds in detail and gain insights into my performance. Another aspect that sets the Voice Caddie T9 apart from other GPS watches is its extensive course database. With thousands of preloaded courses from around the world, I can take the watch with me wherever I play knowing that I'll have access to accurate yardages and green information. Whether you're a pro or just an amateur, this watch will help you improve the way you play. The watch came with an extra watch band and the charging base for it. The Voice Caddie T9 Golf GPS Watch is a top-tier product that performs exceptionally well. Its innovative features and user-friendly interface make it a must-have for any golfer to improve their game. Lastly, this watch is extremely easy to set up. A manual comes with the watch and it gives you individual instructions on how to set up the certain features.

Great full-featured desktop fan, college-bound
on April 6, 2024
Posted by: pinkoos
We had gotten one of these fans for my older son's college dorm room and now we got another for my younger son. This fan is small but powerful. It's the perfect size for your desk whether you're in a dorm room or a work office or cubicle. However, it also works great for larger spaces - somehow it's that powerful. I like that you can control it either with the buttons on the base (if, for example, you're using it on your desk and sitting right next to it) or with the included remote (if you're using it's more powerful speed from some distance away). Speaking of the remote, there is a nice little caddy / holder in the back of the fan so you don't lose it. As noted in, the fan can move in all directions if you want it to, or not move at all - it's up to you. The lights on the base are bright - which is a good thing in daylight, but I can't figure out a way to either dim them or turn them off completely in the night or when the room or area in which the fan is placed is dark. Those lights can be a bit off-setting, but that's a minor grip in an otherwise excellent fan.

Heat - the unique take on these massagers
on December 30, 2023
Posted by: pinkoos
So I've seen these types of massagers pretty much everywhere for the past few years - they seem to be quite popular. In fact, I own one similar to this but without the temperature feature and range of adapters that this one includes. The nice thing about these is that first they are battery operated so you're not chained to a cord and, in turn, a nearby power outlet. Second, they are ergonomic in the sense that they are easy to hold and direct towards whatever muscle group or soft tissue you're trying to direct.
What I like about this one in particular is, of course, its main selling feature - the temperature adjustment. Giving yourself a massage with one of these is nice, but giving yourself a heated massage is even better. I didn't find the 'cold' feature particularly cold but definitely found the 'heat' feature to live up to its name.
Lastly, the unique attachment that this one comes with that I hadn't seen before is the 'fork' - that one works nicely as well to target knots in your back and shoulders.

Basic, cheap and immediate gratification
on December 7, 2023
Posted by: pinkoos
I'm impressed that Best Buy is starting to sell at least some of their products at a lower cost, negating one's desire to just order online from a certain web marketplace. Seriously I don't think you can get a 2 pack of these bumpers for much cheaper, or at least cheap enough to justify ordering online and then waiting for them to come. The bumpers pretty much sell themselves after that. They fit the Apple Watch nice and snug and provide accidental bump protection all around, but no protection of the screen (this is not an issue for me, but the reader should note this fact - there is no built in screen protector with this bumper). The bumpers add bulk, though minimal, as you can imagine, but it's that minimal bulk that will provide some protection for your Apple Watch, so you want it to be like this. Other than that, the bumpers are relatively easy to get on and take off your Apple Watch in case you either want to swap them out or go 'bare.' Next time you're in the market, check Best Buy first, you'll likely find a good to great product at a good to great price with no waiting time.

Poor connection, flimsy and plastic-y
on November 30, 2023
Posted by: pinkoos
I don't like this mouse. Straight out of the box, it feels cheap and flimsy, very plastic-y. It has zero heft or weight to it that would give it an air of quality. It's simply too light. For these reasons alone, I believe it's overpriced. Maybe if it was half the MSRP it would be worth it if, and only if, you literally couldn't afford something more high quality from other brands that famously make really really good mice. Okay, I haven't even gotten to how this mouse actually functions. But before I can even talk about that, I have to mention how difficult this is to pair with a PC. For some reason, I was able to pair it with a Mac without any issue. However, when I then tried to do the same with my work PC, it was a nightmare. I had to resort to looking online to several support posts and other website before I literally stumbled upon a multiple step, convoluted solution that finally got it paired with the PC. However, my sense of accomplishment was short-lived as within a day or so, it stopped working with the PC and I've been unable to re-pair it since. Just look elsewhere if you need a multifunction, ergonomic mouse.

Soft and cushy, great for small wrists
on November 19, 2023
Posted by: pinkoos
My wife and I both have very small wrists so trying to find an Apple Watch band that fits us well is pretty difficult. Other than the sports type rubber bands that have a hole you can stick into, most bands are just too large. Then we're left having to find bands made specifically for kids from other online sources. Well thanks to the adjustable nature of this braided nylon band, we don't have to worry about size any longer. The band is easily adjustable and, in fact, can be adjusted to such a small size that it actually feels tight around our wrists. I'm not saying this is a negative, I'm just trying to convey how small one can adjust this band down to. That is a good thing. Aside from the size, the material feels soft and cushy. Additionally, my wife in particular has sensitive skin and has found that other bands either start irritating her skin from the get go or starts to bother her by mid or end of day to the point that she just wants to take her watch off. With this band, she hasn't complained once. That says a lot.

Hard to install, doesn't cover the whole screen
on November 2, 2023
Posted by: pinkoos
So I'm not very pleased with this screen protector. Though the instructions and included accessories are everything you need to install the screen protector, I found the whole process very frustrating. The alignment guide that you snap over your iPhone prior to laying down the protector still has some leeway to the point that you can still install the screen protector not completely straight and level. On top of that, the screen protector only covers the active part of the touch screen and does not cover the bezels so that when I installed mine, I was not able to get the alignment perfect (see my part about the alignment guide above) and this resulted in the right edge of the protector to line up in such a way with the edge of the active part of the screen and the bezel that it created a rainbow effect running all the way down the right side in most lighting situations. I found this to be very distractive to the point that I only lasted a few days with the protector on before I pulled it off. Aside from this, other things I didn't like was the thickness of the protector and that it actually gets dirtier and is more smudge and fingerprint-prone than the native screen. The thickness is a big issue because of the fact that the protector doesn't cover the bezels. So, every time you handle the iPhone and swipe up from the bottom, you swiping over the edge of the protector and noticing it with your fingers. I cannot recommend this screen protector unfortunately.

Basic case but what's the point without MagSafe?
on November 2, 2023
Posted by: pinkoos
This is a basic, no frills case and the price reflects that (though I still think the price is a bit high for what this case is). The case is optically clear and provides decent protection for your investment but it definitely makes the iPhone feel wider. I'm a fan of cases that are thin on the sides so that you don't feel like you're having to stretch your fingers out further than normal to hold the phone. I found the case relatively easy to put on your iPhone but rather difficult to take off (at least versus other cases I have and have tried). I don't like the feeling that you're having to put a lot of stress on the phone to get the case off. But, putting all these issues aside, my bigger question is what is the point of providing a non-MagSafe case for an iPhone that has MagSafe? I mean MagSafe is one of the best technologies that Apple came up with in the past few years so why would I want a case that nullifies one of the most important features of this iPhone? Unlike some other cases that don't have MagSafe but are thin enough to be "MagSafe compatible," this case is not. So, it's for this reason that I definitely would not recommend this case. I would get the MagSafe version.

With 14.7 million pixels, the 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K display is the most powerful iMac ever. It features quad-core Intel® processors, the latest AMD graphics, a 1TB Fusion Drive, and great built-in apps. All in the same ultrathin design that's just 5mm at the edge.

5 out of 5Best iMac EVER
By My135
I had originally bought the 4K model since it was on sale but it just ran slow since it had the regular hard drive. I went home set it up and was eh ok with it. I then saw the 5K with fusion drive on sale for about $600 more... I basically packed the 4K model up and immediately returned it and got this one! This machine is so awesome! It is my first iMac purchase and I don't regret it at all! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!

Speed difference between 4K hdd and 5K Fusion?
February 26, 2016
Hi,
Just wondering if you'd comment on the speed difference between the 4K you initially bought and the 5K Fusion you replaced it with? The Fusion only has a 24GB SSD tied to the 1TB hard drive, so I'm wondering how the smallish SSD works in terms of speed. Thanks.
